Crap

 

Hang in there Paul..

 

Rascal claiming the Great Dane's bed by the window !!

 

Thanks Andy.

 

That sucks! Hope you both are well soon enough!

 

You’re in our thoughts. Sorry to hear. Rest and get better.

 

Been there a few times, lots of lead smelting too.

Had the chance to see the American Hotel before it burned down. Amazing big barroom poker room and kitchen, they are rebuilding it.

Pics from last weekend

 

You have a pretty good eye- knowledge.

 

Did you need to make a "reservation" of sorts to be allowed to visit? I know that he ( Brett) has said many times that unannounced 'drop ins' are not welcome. I'm planning a visit to Palms Springs this winter to visit some relatives, Cerro Gordo isn't that far away.. I'd love to see it in person, I miss the desert.

Todays activities- I couldn't put it off any longer, the biggest fear that I had was that I was going to break the upper mounting pins on the center console surround, the odd-ball "light" colored wood grain parts that were '99 Limited package specific. This plastic turns into fractured glass as the plastic gets older and sure enough, despite being overly cautious the 2 upper pins shattered... now I need to figure out a way to make it work when I go to reassemble. Those pieces sell for $300 + when you can find them, I know because I've sold quiet a few that I snag when junkyard scrounging. Of course I couldn't have saved one for myself...

Anyway, 3 hours got me this far. I'm not quiet 1/2 there but I will get at it early tomorrow morning. Replacing heater cores sucks! I miss my old '80's full size trucks that had enough room to just take the damn cores out of the bottom of the HVAC box, no removal of dashes required.

 

It's all volunteer work at Cerro Gordo !!

 

I did residential construction field super, never got a fine in 15 years. The owners were very proactive in training /equipment. I have seen some sketchy situations on job sites over the years.

 

Hopefully it's mild.
All my wife had was a headache

 

^^what she said

 

Yeah, as a sailor, I have to embellish the story. She did tell me they might have had some in a trailer they keep outside. I use to work the meat department at the commissary. We had a huge cooler we kept them in. Anyhow, I did get mine, and that's my story and I'm keeping to it..
Ahahahhahahahahaha

Hey on a side note, I got a little chest freezer from walmart for $165. I love that little thing. I think is was a RCA or some shit. Anyhow it's small and will hold everything you need for a month. (I think) lol. Throw a table cloth over it and tell folks its a side boy. LMAO
